3 Complete an application form as early as possible

Those who apply late in the academic year are less likely to be offered a place on their chosen course and may need to consider alternatives. We can help with this. However, to get the best opportunity of their first choice of course, they should apply as early as possible.

4 Receive confirmation

The College will write to applicants to confirm that their application has been received. If they have not received confirmation within two weeks they can call 0870 060 9800 to track their application.

5 Receive an invitation to attend an interview

If eligible to join their chosen course, they will also receive a letter inviting them to attend an interview at a certain time and date.

6 Attend an interview

It is important to attend the interview to ensure that they get an offer of a place on their chosen course. It is not always possible to arrange alternative dates or times. If they really cannot attend the appointment given they can call 0870 060 9800 for more advice.

7 Receive confirmation of an offer

If successful at interview they will be offered a place at the College subject to their exam results, receipt of a good reference and any other relevant entry criteria.

8 Confirm acceptance of an offer in writing

Once they have received an offer they should confirm acceptance of this offer in writing, by returning the freepost card given to them at interview.

9 Receive an enrolment date

We will send successful applicants an enrolment date during August once we have received their acceptance.

Enrolment begins in late August and it is vital that they attend. Remember they will not be guaranteed a place on a course until they have fully enrolled and received their Student ID card and signed their Learner Agreement. It is very important they attend the enrolment date that they have been given.
